BIG PARADE TODAY
New York. April 5 A monster pa

ple in a demonstration against the
conditions which made possible fire.
Displaying hundreds of banners
v lth the legend, "We mourn our dead"
thousands marched through the
streets. Throughout the factory dis
trict nctlvltv was suspended. The
wnrkers. t-oinher clad, passed through
tho streets ln silent protest airainst
the fire-traps. Despite the rain the
women nnd children participated. The
funeral corteges of the unidentified
dead did not take part in the parade.

Shortly after 1 o'clock this after
noon, fire broke out In the hack end
of the building at the corner of Court
and Johnson streets occupied by the
Berlin Pye Works and within half
an hour, before tho ' firemen could
control them, the flames had com
pletely gutted it nnd almost destroy
ed one of tho historic landmarks of
the city. The equipment of tho es
tablishment was valued at $500 which
wns the amount of Insurance carried
upon It. The building, too, wns In
sured by Its owner. Lot Llvermore.
nnd the principal loss falls upon tho
patrons of the shop who had cloth
ing In the building. Nearly all of
this wns destroyed or badly damaged.
Just how much this amounts to. Jack
Webster, proprietor of the shop, Is
unable to say, but states It Is a con
siderable amount.
According to Mr. Webster, the fire
wns caused by the fumes of the gas
oline becoming Ignited by the boiler.
The flnmes spread through the frame
structure with Incredible swiftness nnd
by the time the firemen arrived on
the scene with their hose carts, the
structure was a mass of fire. Their
work was made doubly difficult by
the explosion of a gasoline tank
(which spread the flames after they

This is something that has not oc-

PLANT 1.500 ACRES
TO RROOM CORN
Spokane, Wash. More than 1,500
acres of non-irrigated lands in the
Walla Walla valley, south of Spokane,
and other parts of eastern Washing
ton will be planted to broom corn this
spring. The crop has been grown suc
cessfully in the Touchet, Gardena and
Snake river districts and the product
marketed at good figures. Gustav
Meese, owner of a broom factory in
Spokane, says an acre of land, prop
erly cultivated, will produce 1,500
pounds of broom corn, which, at the
prevailing price of $90 a ton, means
a gross production of about $65 an
acre, or from 100 to 150 per cent
more than the revenue from an acre
of wheat. Manufacturers in the
northwest are encouraging the grow
ers by enlarging their plants to work
up all the raw material that is offer
ed. The combined output of two fac
tories in Spokane and Walla Walla is

Milwaukee, April . Complete re

Mayor Seidel scoffed at the sug

A paid secretary, new club quar
ters, one hundred new members with
in a month and a rejuvenated organ.
lzatfon; these were some of the things
which were launched last night at one
of the most enthusiastic meetings of
the Pendleton Commercial associa
tion ever held and it seems that at
last this city is to take her place
alongside of other leading cities In
the northwest as a supporter of a
live boosting organization.
There was an unusually large at
tendance at the session last evening
because of the matters of importance
to come up and more was done to
wards the arousing, of the spirit ot
concerted action than has been done
here for many moons. It was evi
dent that the business men of the
city are awake to the necessity of
maintaining a systematic boosting or
ganization and the plans laid out last
evening are calculated to secure such
an end.
A Paid Secretary.
The matter of securing a paid sec-
retary luI " "'p-

New Quarters.
The matter of securing new quar

, brought up last night for action be-
i cause of the fact that the special com-
brought up for discussion and
j some action will probably be taken
r riuay ai ine iii::i.ii.b vi me in.u

the present quarters are very inade

needed.
The climax of the meeting came
last evening when President Smythe

sist in securing 100 new members by
)ihe next monthly meeting. Every
man in the room immediately arose
and a systematic campaign will be
begun at once for a greater Commer
cial association.
Want Postoffice Open.
Another important action taken by
the association last night was the ad
option ot a resolution protesting
against the closing of the post office
on Sundays and urging the federal
authorities to leave tho matter of Sun
day mail just as it Is. Dr. C. J. Smith
introduced the resolution and it was
heartily endorsed. On the suggestion
of Attorney J. P. Winter and upon the
motion of W. L. Thompsn the matter
was also referred to the committee on
city affairs with instructions to draw
